EL HAMAMSY, Walid & Mounira SOLIMAN (eds.), Popular Culture in the Middle East and North Africa : A Postcolonial Outlook, New York, Routledge, 2013, 281 pages. This book explores the body and the production process of popular culture in, and on, the Middle East and North Africa, Turkey, and Iran in the first decade of the 21st century, and up to the current historical moment. Essays consider gender, racial, political, and cultural issues in film, cartoons, music, dance, phototattoos, graphic novels, fiction, and advertisements. Contributors to the volume span an array of specializations ranging across literary, postcolonial, gender, media, and Middle Eastern studies and contextualize their views within a larger historical and political moment, analyzing the emergence of a popular expression in the Middle East and North Africa region in recent years, and drawing conclusions pertaining to the direction of popular culture within a geopolitical context. Rappel : la rubrique intitulée « Généralités » présente des ouvrages dans lesquels on mélange les genres, les inclassables, les études sur le roman et le film d’aventures, l’humour et le comique, la culture populaire en général, ainsi que certaines « curiosités » éditoriales... LITTÉRATURE ANGENOT, Marc, Les Dehors de la littérature. Du roman populaire à la sciencef i c t i o n , Paris, Champion, (UnichampEssentiel), 2013, 264 pages. Les études littéraires sont le seul domaine des ainsi nommées "sciences humaines" qui commence en écartant - sans jamais s'interroger sur cette mise à l'écart préjudicielle - quatre-vingt-dix pour cent et plus de ce qui peut sembler son objet naturel. Dans les deux siècles modernes, l'écrasante majorité de ce qui s'est donné pour des "romans", ne serait-ce que par cette mention sur la page de titre, de même que les textes versifiés en leur masse se trouvent exclus de toute prise en considération avant de commencer. Il en va de même pour une part plus massive encore du texte dramatique, de Pixérécourt et du mélodrame romantique au théâtre de boulevard. Marc Angenot explore ici certains secteurs de ces dehors de la littérature canonique en recueillant divers essais qui portent sur les genres, les thématiques et les formes les plus dévalués de ce Grand Déchet. Il se place sous l'invocation d'un personnage benjaminien, celui qui va chercher du récupérable, du " gaspillé " dans les gravats et les champs d'épandage : le Crocheteur. FORNI, Kathleen, Chaucer’s Afterlife : Adaptations in Recent Popular Culture, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2013, 176 pages. This study explores Chaucer’s present-day cultural reputation by way of popular culture. In just the past two decades his texts have been adapted to a wide variety of popular genres, including television, stage, comic book, hip-hop, science fiction, horror, romance, and crime fiction.

The nineteenth-century genre of domestic fiction continues to perform important cultural work for women readers in the early twentieth century – this is the argument of ‘Modern Domestic Fiction’. Discussing texts by Dorothy Canfield, Zona Gale, and Inez Haynes Irwin, this study demonstrates how between 1905 and 1925 domestic fiction took a central role in promulgating popular feminist ideas, creating a 2 in Taiwan : global games and local market / Lai-Chi Chen -- The rise of the Korean cinema in inbound and outbound globalization / Shin Dong Kim -- Pocket capitalism and virtual intimacy : pokeÌ_mon as a symptom of postindustrial youth culture / Anne Allison -Playing the global game : Japan brand and globalization / Kukhee Choo -- China’s new creative strategy : the utilization of cultural soft power and new markets / Michael Keane and Bonnie Liu -- Renationalizing Hong Kong cinema : the gathering force of the mainland market / Michael Curtin.

However soaked in blood its history and no matter how unsettling its social conditions and poverty, Asia has never lost its irresistible attraction or mystic. It has long been an inspiration for Western novelists, so much so that more than 5000 novels have been set in Asia in the English language alone. Storied names like Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad, Pearl S. Buck, George Orwell, Graham Greene, E.M. Forster and many more have used their experiences in Asia as a vibrant backdrop for some of the world's most famous works of literature.

Que se passe-t-il donc de si nouveau depuis les années 1990 du côté des séries télévisées ? À partir d'entretiens avec une trentaine d'amateurs, corpus dont le noyau dur est constitué d'une population de jeunes adultes, cet ouvrage rend compte des raisons d'une passion qui met en avant la valeur des personnages, aux personnalités fouillées, fréquemment traversés par des questions existentielles et pourvus de talents ignorés, mais aussi des univers narratifs troublants par leur rapport aux sentiments, au quotidien et aux faits du monde, ce qui en fait des sortes de fictions de l'ordinaire. Les séries contemporaines sont des séries à hypothèses. Elles offrent un espace de questionnement et de projection à des jeunes adultes notamment, individus en devenir et aux identités plus 5 labiles qu'auparavant. GOODLAD, Lauren M. E., Lilya KAGANOVSKY & Robert A. RUSHING (eds.), Mad Men, Mad World : Sex, Politics, Style, and the 1960s, Durham, Duke University Press, 2013, x, 421 pages. Since the show's debut in 2007, Mad Men has invited viewers to immerse themselves in the lush period settings, ruthless Madison Avenue advertising culture, and arresting characters at the center of its 1960s fictional world. Mad Men, Mad World is a comprehensive analysis of this groundbreaking TV series. Scholars from across the humanities consider the AMC drama from a fascinating array of perspectives, including fashion, history, architecture, civil rights, feminism, consumerism, art, cinema, and the serial format, as well as through theoretical frames such as critical race theory, gender, queer theory, global studies, and psychoanalysis. McCABE, Janet & Kim AKASS (eds.), TV’s Betty Goes Global : from Telenovela to International Brand, London & New York, I. B. Tauris, 2013, xv, 259 pages. Premiering in 2006, the stylish and award winning US hit show Ugly Betty, about kindhearted ugly duckling Betty Suarez (America Ferrera), is the latest incarnation of a truly global phenomenon that started life as a Colombian telenovela, Yo soy Betty, la fea, back in 1999. The tale has since taken an extraordinary journey around the globe, from the original Colombian Beatriz, Indian Jassi, Chinese Wudi and Israeli Esti to the Flemish Sara, Spanish Bea, Greek Maria and Dutch Lotte as well as Czech Katka, Russian Katka and Turkish Gönül. This groundbreaking book about how television formats go global asks what the Betty phenomenon can tell us about the international circulation of locally produced TV fictions as the Latin American telenovela is sold to, and/or re-made for, different national contexts.

McKAY, James, The Films of Victor Mature, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2013, 213 pages. With his rugged features and earthy sex appeal, Victor Mature ushered in a new breed of postwar Hollywood actor, far removed from the debonair matinee idols of the 1930s. Following success as an upbeat leading man in the early 1940s Fox musicals, opposite the likes of Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth, he went on deliver two of his most powerful performances in My Darling Clementine (1946) and Kiss of Death (1947). But it was in the biblical epics such as Samson and Delilah (1949), The Robe (1953) and Demetrius and the Gladiators (1954) that his heartfelt acting and statuesque, larger than life screen presence finally secured his place as a Hollywood icon. Beginning with a concise biography, this work covers Mature’s film career in its entirety, featuring synopses, anecdotes from cast and crew, and review commentary. KENNEDY-KARPAT, Colleen, Rogues, Romances and Exoticism in French Cinema of the 1930s, Madison, Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2013, 215 pages. Many popular French films of the 1930s captured the world and brought it into neighborhood cinemas for filmgoers who craved adventure. These films often served as visual postcards from the French empire, which enjoyed an unprecedented visibility in domestic popular culture between the world wars. But the public appetite for the exotic also transcended imperial borders. Exoticist films displayed landscapes and different that lay beyond the metropole, many of which were not subject to European rule. Rogues, Romance, and Exoticism in French Cinema of the 1930s proposes a critical framework for exoticist cinema that includes and exceeds the limits of empire. From rogue colons to the métisse in love, from the deserts of North Africa to the streets of Shanghai, this book identifies and analyzes recurring figures, common settings, major stars, plot devices, and narrative outcomes that dominated exoticist cinema at its popular peak. MILBERG, Doris, The Art of the Screwball Comedy : Madcap Entertainment from the 1930s to Today, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2013, 200 pages. Part One of this entertaining exploration of screwball comedies and their later offspring begins in the mid-1930s discussing the careers of popular stars such as Cary Grant and Carole Lombard and well-known supporting players like Walter Connally and Ralph Bellamy (also Asta the dog, top animal star of the 1930s!). Writers and directors are given their due: Frank 6 Capra, Howard Hawks and Preston Sturges, just to name a few.__Part Two, the meat of the book, takes an in depth look at the films, from the genre’s inception (1934’s It Happened One Night) to the recent 2003 Down with Love, and the stars that appear in them--Clark Gable, Claudette Colbert, Julia Roberts, Richard Gere-ending with some thoughts about the future. La Case de l’oncle Tom de 1903, Naissance d’une nation de D.W. Griffith et Autant en emporte le vent jusqu’à La Couleur des sentiments et Les Bêtes du Sud sauvage. Cette lignée de Sudistes compte nombre de personnages remarquables incarnés par Bette Davis, Vivien Leigh, Hattie McDaniel, Shirley Temple, Elizabeth Taylor, Louise Beavers, Ethel Waters, Jennifer Jones, Theresa Harris, Fredi Washington… À travers elles, Taïna Tuhkunen montre qu’il existe un genre southern à part entière, aux multiples ramifications et tensions. L’imaginaire sudiste dépasse les limites des genres en même temps que les frontières géographiques, transgresse les codes en engageant l’Amérique tout entière – le dernier avatar en la matière est Django Unchained de Quentin Tarantino. Multiple et impur, car nourri à la manière des vampires de True Blood du réel et du faux, de vrai sang et de sang synthétique, le southern interdit son intégration à un seul projet idéologique ou artistique. Les figures féminines, abondantes, fortes et variées, sont là pour en dire la vitalité, ouvrant aux grandes fictions, aux mélodrames intimistes, aux chroniques épiques et réalistes ou aux cauchemars plus fantastiques.

SAUVAGE, Célia, Critiquer Quentin Tarantino est-il raisonnable ?, Paris, J, Vrin, (Philosophie et cinéma), 2013, 120 pages. Comment expliquer tout à la fois la fétichisation du cinéaste américain, Quentin Tarantino, et la polémique qui entoure la sortie de chacun de ses films ? La réception très passionnée de son cinéma invite à se poser la question : critiquer Quentin Tarantino est-il raisonnable ? La qualité de ses films ne peut suffire à expliquer à elle seule les réactions diverses, contradictoires et polémiques. Le traitement de faveur tout comme la dépréciation systématique du cinéma de Tarantino méritent ainsi d’être réinterrogés. Ses films apparaissent cependant indissociables de la construction personnelle de sa figure publique, de ses discours médiatiques, de son activité cinéphilique, autant d’éléments qui contaminent toujours l’interprétation de ses films et participent à l’explication du « phénomène Tarantino ». WINCKLER, Martin, Dr. House, l’esprit du shaman, Montréal, Boréal, (Liberté grande), 2013, 168 pages. Médecin, écrivain, spécialiste des séries télévisées, il n’en fallait pas plus pour que Martin Winckler, le romancier de La maladie de Sachs, se penche sur le cas du Dr House qui, à l’étonnement ou l’effarement de téléspectateurs scotchés à leurs petits écrans durant huit saisons, a pratiqué au service (selon le jargon du métier) des « moutons à cinq pattes », chez les patients au diagnostic difficile. Mal rasé, boîteux, misanthrope, cynique, inspiré et désemparant, ce personnage est livré à l’examen analytique, éthique et spirituel du Dr Winkler qui, tout écrivain qu’il est, envisage et situe son sujet d’étude dans la lignée des héros (un Sherlock Holmes, par exemple) que la fiction offre à nos passions de lecteurs. WOOD, Ed, Comment réussir (ou presque) à Hollywood : les conseils du plus mauvais cinéaste de l’histoire, Nantes, Cappricci, (La première collection), 2013, 180 pages. Edward D. Wood Jr. (1924-1978) est célèbre pour avoir réalisé « le plus mauvais film de l’histoire du cinéma », l’improbable Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959). Tim Burton et Johnny Depp lui ont consacré un film en 1994, qui rend un hommage vibrant à sa poésie TUHKUNEN, Taïna, Demain sera un autre jour : Le Sud et ses héroïnes à l’écran, Perthuis, Rouge Profond, (Raccords), 2013, 352 pages. Richement illustré, ce livre d’histoire, d’analyse des formes et des genres se focalise sur les figures féminines dans le cinéma américain. Particulièrement les héroïnes sudistes, depuis 7 approximative, son amour du cinéma et sa passion des pulls angora. Écrit en 1965, Comment réussir (ou presque) à Hollywood (The Hollywood Rat Race) révèle encore une autre facette du personnage. S’adressant notamment aux apprentis acteurs et scénaristes, Ed Wood donne des conseils précis et documentés : dans quelle pension descendre, comment trouver un agent, comment survivre aux désillusions… Tout y passe : les photos promotionnelles, les attachés de presse… Le ton est féroce, l’ironie aussi savoureuse que paradoxale. Par quel miracle l’homme dont la carrière fut un échec peut-il s’ériger en guide ? C’est tout le sel de cet « Hollywood pour les Nuls » unique en son genre. ROMANS ET FILMS POLICIERS LITTÉRATURE ZARZOSA, Agustin, Refiguring Melodrama in Film and Television : Captive Affects, Elastic Sufferings, Vicarious Objects, Lanham, Lexington Books, 2013, 173 pages. CARLSTON, Erin G., Double Agents : Espionage, Literature, and Liminal Citizen, New York, Columbia University Press, 352 pages. Why were white bourgeois gay male writers so interested in spies, espionage, and treason in the twentieth century? Erin G. Carlston believes such figures and themes were critical to exploring citizenship and its limits, requirements, and possibilities in the modern Western state. Through close readings of Marcel Proust's novels, W. H. Auden's poetry, and Tony Kushner's play Angels in America, which all reference real-life espionaage cases involving Jews, homosexuals, or Communists, Carlston connects gay men's fascination with spying to larger debates about the making and contestation of social identity. ZERNIK, Clélia, Les Sept Samouraïs, de Akira Kurosowa : Chorégraphies, Crisnée, Yellow Now, (Côté film), 2013, 110 pages. Les sept samouraïs d’Akira Kurosawa est d’abord un film d’action. Mais derrière les questions de pouvoir et de survie se joue avant tout un art de la mise en scène des corps : corps souffrants, fébriles, humiliés, mais aussi corps qui s’éduquent et s’articulent avec un groupe. Brisant la bidimensionnalité de l’écran cinématographique, Kurosawa inscrit la tension des muscles, le surplus de la chair et du physiologique au coeur de l’image et donne à voir l’engendrement du corps social à partir de la diversité des corps physiques. Avec une grande économie de mots, il construit une allégorie de l’institution sociale et politique qui fait varier très subtilement les relations interindividuelles uniquement par le traitement de l’espace et des corps. Les Sept Samouraïs est un film chorégraphique. COLLECTIF, Secret Service : Jahrbuch 2013, Messkirch, Gmeiner Verlag, 2013, 310 pages.

Auteur de plusieurs ouvrages de référence sur le cinéma américain, et notamment le film noir, fondateur de la revue Polar, lauréat du Ellery Queen Award en 1997 et surtout éditeur des auteurs les plus prestigieux du genre aux Éditions Rivages, François Guérif est aujourd'hui sans doute l'un des plus grands spécialistes français du roman policier. Au fil de ces entretiens à bâtons rompus avec le journaliste Philippe Blanchet, François Guérif revient sur la genèse du polar, de Conan Doyle à Agatha Christie, sur les premiers classiques modernes (de Dashiell Hammett à Raymond Chandler) et sur les grands auteurs actuels. Tout au long de ce livre à la fois érudit et passionné, il analyse les principales étapes du genre.

DRALYUK, Boris, Western Crime Fiction Goes East : The Russian Pinkerton Craze, 1 9 0 7 - 1 0 3 4 , Leiden, Brill, 2012, (Russian History and Culture), xiv, 182 pages. This book examines the staggering popularity of early-twentieth-century Russian detective serials. Traditionally maligned as “Pinkertonovshchina,” these appropriations of American and British detective stories featuring Nat Pinkerton, Nick Carter, Sherlock Holmes, Ethel King, and scores of other sleuths swept the Russian reading market in successive waves between 1907 and 1917, and famously experienced a “red” resurgence in the 1920s under the aegis of Nikolai Bukharin. The book presents the first holistic view of “Pinkertonovshchina” as a phenomenon, and produces a working model of cross-cultural appropriation and reception. The “red Pinkerton” emerges as a vital “missing link” between pre- and post-Revolutionary popular literature, and marks the fitful start of a decades-long negotiation between the regime, the author, and the reading masses.

HENRY, Dorothée, Arsène Lupin et Cie ; les gentlemen cambrioleurs, Turquant, L’Apart éditions, 2012, 185 pages. Préface de JeanLouis Touchant. Arsène Lupin, le gentleman cambrioleur, est universellement connu. Archétype de l'élégance et de la séduction, voleur et chevalier servant, homme aux mille visages, audacieux et mystérieux, sa silhouette mondaine continue de hanter la littérature mondiale, et l'on n'en finit pas de le redécouvrir, au cinéma comme en littérature ou en bande dessinée. Bien sûr, avant Lupin, il y avait déjà toute une tradition de personnages, réels ou imaginaires, d'escrocs, de bandits au grand coeur ou de génies du mal. De Renart à Rocambole, en passant par Robin des Bois ou Cartouche, le voleur, le brigand, l'aigrefin était déjà célébré par les écrivains. Au tournant du xixe et du xxe siècle, il n'est pas non plus le premier - avant lui il y avait Simon Carne, Arthur J.

Le Polar est aujourd'hui le genre le plus vendu et le plus lu en France ! Il n'en fut pas toujours ainsi car dès sa naissance, ce genre issu du roman populaire, a rassemblé contre lui de nombreuses voix. Lecteur éclectique et boulimique dès l'âge de dix ans, devenu critique littéraire au début des années 1980, j'ai pu, à mon tour, défendre ce genre littéraire selon l'aphorisme bien connu : « Il n'y a pas de mauvais genres, il n'y a que de mauvais écrivains ». En trente ans, en dehors d'une quinzaine d'ouvrages allant d'une Souris noire d'une douzaine de pages à un dictionnaire mondial du genre qui en compte 2 200, j'ai publié des kilomètres d'articles sur ce genre que nous sommes nombreux à aimer. Compte tenu de tous ces nouveaux lecteurs qui découvrent chaque jour cette littérature, j'ai pensé qu'une sélection de mes articles pourrait les intéresser. J'ai prévu trois volumes. Voici le premier. SCHAUB, Melissa, Middlebrow Feminism in Classic British Detective Fiction : The Female Gentleman, New York, Palgrave Macmillan, (Crime Files), 2013, 176 pages. This is a feminist study of a recurring character type in classic British detective fiction by women - a woman who behaves like a Victorian gentleman. Exploring this character type leads to a new evaluation of the politics of classic detective fiction and the middlebrow novel as a whole.

ALDER, Bill, Maigret, Simenon and France, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2013, 220 pages. Préface/Foreword : Stephen Knight. This book examines the importance of social class and social change in the Maigret stories, giving a particular emphasis to the early formative novels and the development of plot, characterization and setting. The author seeks to establish the extent to which Simenon’s portrait of French society is historically accurate and the nature of the influence of the author’s own class position and ideology on his fiction.

Biographie d’un criminel imaginaire, Paris, Les Prairies Ordinaires, 2013. Parution : 14 juin.-13 Fantômas ! Le nom du « Génie du crime » a traversé tout le XXe siècle. À bien des égards, Pierre Souvestre et Marcel Allain ont enfanté en 1911 une œuvre monstre. Fantômas, revers obscur et grimaçant de notre monde, y invente, page après page, une violence sans visage, sans motivations et sans signification apparente. La série des Fantômas a fasciné les avant-gardes des années 1920-1930, qui en 10 ont loué le génie créatif et la puissance subversive. Le mythe du criminel voleur d’identités, tueur cruel, virtuose de la mise en scène morbide, a inspiré tableaux, films expérimentaux, textes poétiques et polémiques. Nourri par un travail de collecte inédit, cet ouvrage propose de relire Fantômas à la lumière des travaux qui ont questionné la place des fictions dans les sociétés contemporaines. La trajectoire du protagoniste éclaire l’organisation du champ littéraire, partagé entre littérature légitime et productions de grande consommation. Consacrant la toutepuissance de l’information et des faits divers, l’œuvre apparaît bien comme « l’Énéide des temps modernes », selon la formule de Blaise Cendrars. La modernité du XXe siècle naissant y est, il est vrai, partout : grands magasins, chirurgie plastique, nouvelles techniques policières… En subvertissant les logiques classiques du detective novel où la raison et la progression de l’enquête priment sur le crime, Fantômas questionne les identités sociales, le maintien de l’Ordre et la répression des pulsions. Simenon, comme Pierre Assouline, Michel Lemoine ou Jacques Dubois – chacun d’eux présentant aux lecteurs à la fois une synthèse des travaux déjà réalisés et une série d’apports nouveaux. En outre, d’autres critiques se joignent à ces spécialistes reconnus et portent un regard neuf sur le vaste continent simenonien._Après ces études, une deuxième partie contient quelques grands articles historiques sur Simenon, que ce dernier a pu découvrir de son vivant – articles pour la plupart devenus introuvables aujourd’hui. Suivent des extraits de correspondances : le lecteur retrouvera là quelques lettres importantes comme celles que Gide ou Fellini ont adressées au père de Maigret, mais aussi des lettres tout à fait inédites, signées Cocteau, Henry Miller ou Anaïs Nin._Aux dialogues d’hier succède un dialogue entre passé et présent : une section est en effet consacrée à des entretiens réalisés par Laurent Demoulin au sujet de Simenon avec de grands romanciers d’aujourd’hui, comme Emmanuel Carrère, Jean-Philippe Toussaint, Eugène Savitzkaya, Philippe Claudel ou Philippe Delerm._La parole est ensuite donnée à Simenon lui-même, à travers deux grands entretiens : le plus mémorables d’entre eux a eu lieu lors de l’émission Apostrophes de Bernard Pivot le 27 novembre 1981, l’autre, tout à fait inédit, voit l’écrivain dialoguer avec son ami le professeur Maurice Piron les 20 et 21 septembre 1982._La dernière partie est composée d’une série de textes très rares ou d’inédits de Simenon luimême, qu’il s’agisse de contes écrits durant sa jeunesse et publiés par Colette ; de réponses à des questionnaires ; d’une lettre adressée par l’écrivain à… son personnage Maigret ; d’un extrait d’une adaptation théâtrale réalisée avec la complicité de Frédéric Dard ; d’un récit de souvenirs ou d’un appel que l’écrivain nous lance, puisqu’il y apostrophe le XXIe siècle… NDLR : Les deux auteurs proposent aussi la réédition en deux volumes, chez Robert Laffont (Omnibus) de l’intégrale des aventures de Fantômas. AUSTER, Paul, Chronique d’hiver, Arles/ Montréal, Leméac/Actes Sud, 2013, 252 pages. À travers cette Chronique d’hiver plus proche de l’autoportrait ou du journal que du récit autobiographique classique, Paul Auster propose une méditation sur la fuite du temps et invite le lecteur à partager l’aventure de l’existence telle qu’il l’a vécue, en homme comme en écrivain, au fil des sensations, des émotions, des rencontres et des lieux ayant marqué son itinéraire personnel. DEMOULIN, Laurent (dir.), Georges Simenon, Paris, Cahiers de l’Herne, no 102, 2013, 285 pages. La vie et l’oeuvre de Simenon ont déjà fait couler beaucoup d’encre, tant de la part des critiques littéraires que des journalistes de la presse people. C’est dans ce contexte que les Cahiers de L’Herne consacre un numéro au père de Maigret qui se veut à la fois généraliste et particulier : sa diversité et sa richesse sont de nature à combler à la fois les spécialistes de l’oeuvre et ceux qui veulent la découvrir, les habitués et les nouveaux venus…_Une première partie est composée d’études rigoureuses.

A scan of today's television programming reveals numerous media stories, factual and fictional, featuring some aspect of crime. These depictions can stray far from reality, with the effect of creating and reinforcing distorted impressions. This collection offers a sociological analysis of race, class, and gender stereotypes within crime media. Essays discuss particular examples of inequalities and stereotypes, consider the implications of such portrayals, and demonstrate how they influence the public's expectations and beliefs about realworld crime.

BOUTET, Marjolaine, Cold Case : la mélodie du passé, Paris, Presses Universitaires de France, 2013, 160 pages. Malgré un succès d’audience partout dans le monde, cette série historico-policière de sept saisons et 156 épisodes ne fait pas l’objet d’une édition DVD en raison du coût des droits musicaux de sa très riche bande originale. Le but de ce livre est de l’analyser sous un angle historique et de contribuer à lui donner une place dans la mémoire des sériephiles. Inspirés par des faits réels et appuyés sur des connaissances historiques précises, les crimes résolus par les policiers de Cold Case proposent un portrait « en coupe » – fictif et néanmoins très pédagogique – de l’Amérique contemporaine, avec un traitement tout particulier de l’histoire des femmes et des minorités. Il s’agit aussi de montrer que le propos développé par les scénaristes de cette série policière diffusée sur la chaîne hertzienne conservatrice CBS est profondément « de gauche » (la gauche américaine) et progressiste. Enfin, en tant que série des années 2000, Cold Case est bien sûr marquée par les attentats du 11 Septembre et les deux guerres (Afghanistan et Irak) que les ÉtatsUnis ont menées pendant sa diffusion.

Released in 1958, Vertigo is widely regarded as Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece and one of the greatest films of all time. This is the first book devoted to exploring the philosophical aspects of Vertigo. Following an introduction by the editor that places the film in context, each chapter reflects upon Hitchcock’s film from a philosophical perspective. DU PELOUX, Renaud, Sons of Anarchy : la guerre perpétuelle, Paris, Presses Universitaires de France, 2013, 102 pages. Les Sons of Anarchy sont une bande de motards du fin fond de la Californie qui ont décidé de faire sécession avec l'autorité publique. Leur business est illégal bien sûr et leurs manières, peu courtoises. Ils chevauchent leurs Harleys comme des destriers de l'enfer et sur leurs blousons de cuir est cousu : « Ceux du Chaos ». Les Sons sont en guerre. De leur mode de vie atypique jusqu'à une critique de fond de la puissance publique, la série offre un bel aperçu de la figure de l'anarchiste. En quoi notre monde, que l'on peut dire libre au sens où nous vivons dans une démocratie , peut-il leur paraître oppressant, coercitif ? La manière dont la puissance publique réagit face à ces ploucs du désert qui n'aspirent à rien d'autre qu'à vivre seuls suggère que notre liberté est peut-être moins réelle qu'il n'y paraît. Convoquant les plus grands penseurs anarchistes, cet ouvrage a l'ambition de montrer comment la série est à l'origine d'une réflexion philosophique sur la morale, la justice et la liberté.

A revised and significantly expanded edition of The Cinema of Michael Mann (2007), this book includes new chapters on Public Enemies and the big screen version of Miami Vice, as well as Mann’s work on the shows Crime Story and Luck. Covering Mann’s entire career, this book will be of interest to fans of the writer/director’s body of work as well as to scholars of both film and television. several awards and has been described by critics as the best show on television. In this volume, author Sherryl Vint takes a close look at several episodes of The Wire to argue that the series challenges our understanding of the relationship between entertainment and social critique. Informed by recent work on race, poverty, and the transformation of the American inner city through neoliberalism, Vint provides a compelling analysis of The Wire in four chapters. First, she examines the season 1 episode "The Buys" as an example of the ways in which The Wire diverges from the police procedural format. She continues by considering season 2's "All's Prologue" and season 3's "Middle Ground" to explore in more detail The Wire's critique of the exclusions of the capitalist economy. In the final two chapters, she looks at "Final Grades," the fourth season finale, to highlight the problems with institutional inertia and show both the need for and barriers to reform, and uses the season 5 episode "Clarifications" to consider the failure of the media to adequately reflect the social issues depicted in The Wire. One of the landmark series of recent television history, The Wire is ripe for research and discussion. Fans of the series and those interested in social commentary and the media will appreciate Vint's new analysis in this volume. SORRENTO, Matthew, The New American Crime Film, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2013, 222 pages. Préface de Stuart Gordon. The most pervasive genre in contemporary cinema, the American crime film has recently enjoyed a new surge of popularity and proliferation. Though these innovative films now tackle topical issues, they continue to reference the classic narratives and archetypes established in the great crime pictures of past decades. The titles explored in this critical survey span many themes that have fused with other genres to create fascinating filmic hybrids. Focusing on character and plot construction, the author highlights the gangster and film noir traditions that still run strongly through recent American cinema. Among the many filmmakers analyzed within these pages are David Lynch, Gus Van Sant, David Mamet, Werner Herzog, Sam Raimi, David Cronenberg and the Coen Brothers. Stuart Gordon, director of the cult classic ReA n i m a t o r , provides the lively and incisive foreword.

Romanticism, Medicine and the Natural Supernatural explores the relationship between the Romantic preoccupation with visionary kinds of experience and early nineteenth-century medical theories of hallucination and the nerves, placing it in the context of accounts of perception in philosophical empiricism. Starting with an examination of Ann Radcliffe's Gothic narrative, and the canonical Romanticism of Wordsworth and Coleridge, the book goes on to examine the persistence of this medical topos of hallucination and the visionary in mid nineteenth-century writers influenced by Romanticism, such as Harriet Martineau and Harriet Beecher Stowe. The book concludes with a discussion of how the pathological language employed in early debates about PreRaphaelite painting reflects this Romantic conception of the interrelationship between nervous strain, hallucination and vision. BRODMAN, Barbara & James E. Doan (eds.), The Universal Vampire : Origins and Evolution of a Legend, Madison, Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2013, 262 pages. A major question exists within vampire scholarship: to what extent is this creature a product of European cultural forms, or is the vampire indeed a universal, perhaps even archetypal figure? In this collection of sixteen original essays, the editors shed light on this question. One essay traces the origins of the legend to the early medieval Norse draugr, an “undead” creature who reflects the underpinnings of Dracula, the latter first appearing as a vampire in Anglo-Irish Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula, published in 1897. In addition to these investigations of the Western mythic, literary and historic traditions, other essays in this volume move outside Europe to explore vampire figures in Native American and Mesoamerican myth and ritual, as well as the existence of similar vampiric traditions in Japanese, Russian and Latin American art, theatre, literature, film and other cultural productions.

DE BENI, Matteo, Lo fantastico en escena : formas de lo imposible en el teatro espanol contemporaneo, Pontevedra, Academia del Hispanismo, 2012, 275 pages. Préface de Paola Abrosi & Jeus Rubio Jimenez. This book explores the fantastic in the panorama of contemporary Spanish theater from Ramon del Valle-Inclan until today. In trying to label criticism as slick as "fantastic", we should clarify that sense applies to that end: this is the purpose of the first chapter, which defines this category as a literary form and not as a genre, and outlines besides its host (or rather, its rejection) in the intellectual and literary environment of nineteenth-century Spain.

DEBUS, Allen A., Dinosaurs in Fantastic Fiction : A Thematic Survey, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2013, 230 pages. Préface de Donald F. Glut & Mark F. Berry. 16 From the first illustrated edition of Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth in 1867, dinosaurs and prehistory have fascinated readers. Writers would time and again come back to dinosaurs as an element of fantastic fiction, often using these creatures--through the venue of the written word--to reflect the world of the writers’ own time.__This literary survey examines how "paleoliterature" originated, developed and matured to the present day. Also discussed are the ways in which dinosaur fiction mirrors contemporary ideas about subjects such as geology, the Cold War, environmentalism, time travel, evolution and bioengineering.__Featured authors include Ray Bradbury, H.G. Wells, and Poul Anderson, among others. In select cases, the novelizations of movie scripts are also examined. An appendix provides brief summaries of deserving dinosaur texts.

The French Revolution brings to mind violent mobs, the guillotine, and Madame Defarge, but it was also a publishing revolution: more than 1,200 novels were published between 1789 and 1804, when Napoleon declared the Revolution at an end. In this book, Julia V. Douthwaite explores how the works within this enormous corpus announced the new shapes of literature to come and reveals that vestiges of these stories can be found in novels by the likes of Mary Shelley, E.

KERR, Greg, Dream Cities : Utopias and Prose by Poets in Nineteenth-Century France , London, Legenda, (Legenda Main Series), 2013, 250 pages. To a backdrop of dizzying urbanization, French utopian thinkers of the nineteenth century set out to explore the transformative possibilities of the modern metropolis. Linking literary analyses with diverse strands of cultural and intellectual history, this study considers how the utopian vision of the city in turn came to impinge on prose writing by poets: in SaintSimonian literature, and in texts by Théophile Gautier, Charles Baudelaire and Arthur Rimbaud. At points steeped in the hyperbolic rhetoric of utopian projects, these texts nonetheless wear away at the internal coherence of that rhetoric and the idealizing meanings it supports.

"new wave in science fiction." Critics called it "dangerous nonsense" and labeled its fans the lunatic fringe. Whatever else the Shaver Mystery was, it became a worldwide sensation between 1945 and 1948, one of the greatest controversies to hit the science fiction genre. Today these stories of the remnants of a sinister ancient civilization living in caverns under the Earth are an all but forgotten sidebar to the historical record. The Shaver Mystery began as a series of science fiction yarns in Amazing Stories nearly 70 years ago. The men behind it, Ray Palmer and Richard Shaver, were derided and seldom understood by a fandom that did its best to sweep them under the carpet of history. Though Ray Palmer was one of the earliest and biggest names in SF fandom, credited with many firsts in his field, his fannish brethren have roundly ignored him, thanks to the Shaver Mystery. What is the truth behind these men and their "mystery"? This is the question writers and editors that promoted the Shaver Mystery try to answer as they reveal the behind-the-scenes story of the phenomenon known as "Shaverism."

Le XVIIe siècle donne naissance à une prolifération de lieux imaginaires. De nombreuses cartes allégoriques, utopies et dystopies y voient le jour. Mais les romans, les contes de fées, les pamphlets, les chroniques mondaines et même les récits de voyages n’ échappent pas à cette vogue, à tel point qu’on peut appréhender la topographie fictive comme un mode d’ expression privilégié du Grand Siècle._Le présent recueil se veut un guide des espaces sans référent, de leur configuration et de leurs enjeux symboliques ou idéologiques. Il permettra au lecteur de revisiter des lieux célèbres comme le pays de Tendre ou la mythique Terre Australe, ainsi que des territoires méconnus mais particulièrement riches de signification. La topographie métaphorique a également alimenté de nombreux débats. Les violentes polémiques suscitées autour de la publication_de la Nouvelle allegorique ou Histoire des derniers troubles arrivez au Royaume d’Eloquence (1658) d’ Antoine Furetière et de la Carte de Tendre (1654) esquissée par Madeleine de Scudéry montrent à quel point les représentations de pays imaginaires cristallisaient les passions. S’ensuivirent également plusieurs discussions théoriques. STYPCZYNSKI, Brent A., The Modern Literary Werewolf : A Critical Study of the Mutable Motif, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2013, 228 pages. Throughout history, from at least as far back as the Epic of Gilgamesh, mankind has shown a fascination with physical transformation-especially that of humans into animals. Tales of such transformations appear in every culture across the course of history. They have been featured in the Western world in the work of such authors as Ovid, Petronius, Marie de France, Saint Augustine, Jack Williamson, Charles de Lint, Charaline Harris, Terry Pratchett, and J. K. Rowling. TAYLOR, Anthony, London’s Burning : Pulp Fiction, The Politics of Terrorism and The Destruction of the Capital in British Popular Culture, 1840-2005, London, Continuum, 2012, 257 pages.

This book resituates the ghost story as a matter of literary hospitality and as part of a vital prehistory of modernism, seeing it not as a quaint neo-gothic ornament, but as a powerful literary response to the technological and psychological disturbances that marked the end of the Victorian era. Linking little-studied authors like M. R. James and May Sinclair to such canonical figures as Dickens, Henry James, Woolf, and Joyce, Thurston argues that the literary ghost should be seen as no mere relic of gothic style but as a portal of discovery, an opening onto the central modernist problem of how to write ‘life itself.’ Ghost stories are split between an ironic, often parodic reference to Gothic style and an evocation of ‘life itself,’ an implicit repudiation of all literary style. Reading the ghost story as both a guest and a host story, this book traces the ghost as a disruptive figure in the ‘hospitable’ space of narrative from Maturin, Poe and Dickens to the fin de siècle, and then on into the twentieth century. The book covers work by well-known time travel writers such as H. G. Wells, Edward Bellamy, Robert Heinlein, Samuel Delany, and Harlan Ellison, as well as pulp fiction writers of the 1920s through the 1940s, popular and avant-garde postwar science fiction, television shows such as The Twilight Zone and Star Trek, and current cinema. Literature, film and TV are read alongside theoretical work ranging from Einstein, Schrödinger, and Hawking to Gérard Genette, David Lewis, and Gilles Deleuze. Wittenberg argues that even the most mainstream audiences of popular time travel fiction and cinema are vigorously engaged with many of the same questions about temporality, identity, and history that concern literary theorists, media and film scholars, and philosophers. WRIGHT, Angela, Britain, France and the Gothic, 1764-1820 : The Import of Terror, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2013, 231 pages. In describing his proto-Gothic fiction, The Castle of Otranto (1764), as a translation, Horace Walpole was deliberately playing on national anxieties concerning the importation of war, fashion and literature from France in the aftermath of the Seven Years' War. In the last decade of the eighteenth century, as Britain went to war again with France, this time in the wake of revolution, the continuing connections between Gothic literature and France through the realms of translation, adaptation and unacknowledged borrowing led to strong suspicions of Gothic literature taking on a subversive role in diminishing British patriotism. Angela Wright explores the development of Gothic literature in Britain in the context of the fraught relationship between Britain and France, offering fresh perspectives on the works of Walpole, Radcliffe, 'Monk' Lewis and their contemporaries.

WYATT, John, The Use of Imaginary, Historical and Actual Maps in Literature : How British and Irish Authors Created Imaginary Worlds to Tell Their Stories, Lewiston, Edwin Mellen Press, 2013, 386 pages. In this text, the author highlights unrecorded discoveries about how maps and literature are associated. Not only do maps give us a tool by which to understand a physical reality as it actually exists, but maps can support the realm of literary fiction – such as Tolkien’s Middle Earth, or Stevenson’s Treasure Island. There are also maps that try to catch a certain historical moment like an urban space at a WITTENBERG, David, Time Travel : The Popular Philosophy of Narrative, New York, Fordham University Press, 2013, ix, 306 pages. 22 particular time period, or a rural environment. While maps had historically guided travel, in literature they provide an escape mechanism that transports the audience to an unfamiliar place. Maps can create images that color the contours of the reader’s imagination, thereby fortifying the creativity of the story being told. Is there a verisimilitude where the authors are trying to realistically depict a scene as it actually exists, or does the story try to create a magical fantasy world conjured up out of thin air? The use of maps gives an array of options, and the story can hinge on what kind of setting the author creates through their employment.

Using feminist and psychological theory, Deconstructing Twilight examines the behavior, relationships, and gender roles depicted in the popular Twilight series. Using perspectives from both fans and detractors of the series, it discusses whether the character of Bella, and the series in general, is antifeminist or an example of modern feminism, and whether the relationship between Bella and Edward is healthy or maladjusted.

Lovecraft’s Dark Arcadia, Jefferson (NC), McFarland, 2013, 288 pages. This volume attempts an objective reassessment of the controversial works and life of American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. Ignoring secondary accounts and various received truths, Gavin Callaghan goes back to the weird texts themselves, and follows where Lovecraft leads him: into an arcane world of parental giganticism and inverted classicism, in which Lovecraft’s parental obsessions were twisted into the all-powerful cosmic monsters of his imaginary cosmology. AARP-Centre Rocambole, (Bibliothèque du Rocambole. Magasin du Club Verne, 2), 2012, 153 pages. Entre la rédaction de Vingt mille lieues sous les mers et Autour de la Lune, Jules Verne avait été sollicité par son éditeur Hetzel pour remanier un livre écrit par le romancier et journaliste anglais James Greenwood (1832-1929) et illustré par le Français Ernest _Griset (1843-1907), dont les aventures débridées paraissaient à première vue bien compatibles avec celles des « Voyages extraordinaires ». Mais l’éditeur Hetzel s’était trompé : les changements proposés par Verne étaient si radicaux qu’il recula devant leur réalisation. L’édition établie par Volker Dehs d’après l’original conservé aux Bibliothèques d’Amiens Métropole permet d’apprécier — simultanément ou l’une après l’autre — la version originale des Aventures surprenantes de trois vieux marins (1866) et la version que Jules Verne aurait voulu en faire en 1869. L’introduction présente J. Greenwood, un des protagonistes les plus singuliers du journalisme anglais, indûment oublié de nos jours, et retrace la curieuse destinée de ce livre dont l’humour caustique peut encore aujourd’hui déconcerter comme lors de sa première parution.

The book considers Banks as an habitual border crosser who makes things fresh and new by subversive and transgressive strategies. The essays are divided into four thematic areas: the Scottish context, the geographies of his writing, the impact of genre, and a combined focus on gender, games and play.

Lovecraft was one of the brightest stars of the horror and science fiction magazines, but died in poverty and relative obscurity in the 1930s. In 2005 he was finally elevated from pulp status to the classical literary canon with the release of a Library of America volume dedicated to his work. The impact of Lovecraft on philosophy has been building for more than a decade. Initially championed by shadowy guru Nick Land at Warwick during the 1990s, he was later discovered to be an object of private fascination for all four original members of the twenty-first century Speculative Realist CORDA, Tiziana, E.T.A.

In this book, Graham Harman extracts the basic philosophical concepts underlying the work of Lovecraft, yielding a weird realism capable of freeing continental philosophy from its current soul-crushing impasse. Abandoning pious references by Heidegger to Hölderlin and the Greeks, Harman develops a new philosophical mythology centered in such Lovecraftian figures as Cthulhu, Wilbur Whately, and the rat-like monstrosity Brown Jenkin. The Miskatonic River replaces the Rhine and the Ister, while Hölderlin's Caucasus gives way to Lovecraft's Antarctic mountains of madness.

ARNOLD, Sarah, Maternal Horror Film : Melodrama and Motherhood, New York, Palgrave Macmillan, 2013, 216 pages. Horror film is particularly prone to articulating fears and tensions about maternal figures, and reflects cultural apprehensions concerning the changing nature of motherhood. Via predominantly US and European case studies, Maternal Horror Film: Melodrama and Motherhood establishes a framework for understanding two dominant representations of motherhood: selfsacrificing and demonic. Building on this, Arnold investigates how discourses of motherhood exist within East Asian horror texts using popular recent horror films to illustrate. Historical and contemporary case studies include Psycho (1960), Poltergeist (1985), Invasion (2007), Ringu (1998), The Others (2001), Dark Water (2003), and The Seventh Sign (1988).

(1960) is investigated as the watershed moment when the genre opened its doors to the possibility that any horror movie--classic, modern, B-movie, and more--might be remade for contemporary audiences.__Staple horror franchises--Halloween (1978), Friday the 13th (1980), and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)--are highlighted along with their remake counterparts in order to illustrate how the genre has embraced a phenomenon of remake productions and what the future of horror holds for American cinema. More than 25 original films, their remakes, and the movies they influenced are presented in detailed discussions throughout the text. DONNELLY K.

Le Prisonnier est d'abord l'oeuvre d'un homme, Patrick McGoohan, qui livre à la postérité un chef d'oeuvre inégalé. Jamais une fiction télévisée n'a été à ce point étudiée, disséquée et documentée depuis l'apparition du petit écran. Acteur, réalisateur, scénariste, producteur, directeur de casting et finalement maître d'oeuvre habité par une ambition, McGoohan a tenté un pari que l'on peut juger fou et livré en seulement 17 épisodes une contribution majeure à la culture populaire. Le Prisonnier est également une série inscrite dans le temps. Elle est à la fois le témoin de son époque, la fin des années 60, et prophétique par bien des aspects en dénonçant l'aliénation de la société de consommation, la tyrannie du pouvoir, la fascination pour la médecine, la surveillance croissante de l'individu et la perte des repères de l'identité de chacun d'entre nous dans un phénomène croissant d'isolement.

Arnaudo asserts that, amidst the exciting action, tender love stories, and tales of selfsacrifice, superheroes are role models for tolerance and moral decision making.

A refugee from his broken planet who saves earth (more than once), Superman was sent to America as his father’s final act before dying. Does this make him the ultimate immigrant success story? Disillusioned with a crime-filled world, Bruce Wayne seeks guidance from a shaman and transforms himself into the flawlessly moral Batman. Through a series of close readings of DC and Marvel comics, Marco Arnaudo explores the influence of religion and myth on superhero stories as well as their relationship to the classical epic and baroque style.Superheroes embody the most positive 32 Blowing Flames into the Souls of Black Folk: Ollie Harrington and his Bombs from Berlin to Harlem, Christian Davenport \ 8.

PHILLIPS, Nickie D. & Staci STROBL, Comic Book Crime : Truth, Justice and the American W a y , New York, New York University Press, 2013, 320 pages. Through an analysis of approximately 200 comic books sold from 2002 to 2010, as well as several years of immersion in comic book fan culture, Phillips and Strobl reveal the kinds of themes and plots popular comics feature in a post-9/11 context. They discuss heroes’ calculations of “deathworthiness,” or who should be killed in meting out justice, and how these judgments have as much to do with the hero’s character as they do with the actions of the villains. This fascinating volume also analyzes how class, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation are used to construct difference for both the heroes and the villains in ways that are both conservative and progressive. Engaging, sharp, and insightful, Comic Book Crime is a fresh take on the very meaning of truth, justice, and the American way.

In Enter the Superheroes: American Values, Culture, and the Canon of Superhero Literature, Alex S. Romagnoli and Gian S. Pagnucci argue that superheroes merit serious study, both within the academy and beyond. By examining the kinds of graphic novels that are embraced by the academy, this book explains how superhero stories are just as significant. Structured around key themes within superhero literature, the book delves into the features that make superhero stories a unique genre. The book also draws upon examples in comics and other media to illustrate the sociohistorical importance of superheroes—from the interplay of fans and creators to unique narrative elements that are brought to their richest fulfillment within the world of superheroes. A list of noteworthy superhero texts that readers can look to for future study is also provided. McKINNEY, Mark, Redrawing French Empire in Comics, Columbus, Ohio State University Press, (Studies in Comics and Cartoons), 2013, 304 pages. Redrawing French Empire in Comics by Mark McKinney investigates how comics have represented the colonization and liberation of Algeria and Indochina. It focuses on the conquest and colonization of Algeria (from 1830), the French war in Indochina (1946–1954), and the Algerian War (1954–1962). Imperialism and colonialism already featured prominently in nineteenthcentury French-language comics and cartoons by Töpffer, Cham, and Petit. Redrawing French Empire in Comics shows how contemporary cartoonists such as Alagbé, Baloup, Boudjellal, Ferrandez, and Sfar have staked out different, sometimes conflicting, positions on French colonial history.

BRODE, Douglas, Dream West : Politics and Religion in Cowboy Movies, Austin, University of Texas Press, 2013, 362 pages. Examining dozens of Westerns, including Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Red River, 3:10 to Yuma (old and new), The Wild Ones, High Noon, My Darling Clementine, The Alamo, and No Country for Old Men, Brode demonstrates that the genre (with notable exceptions that he fully covers) was the product of Hollywood liberals who used it to project a progressive agenda on issues such as gun control, environmental protection, respect for non-Christian belief systems, and community cohesion versus rugged individualism. Challenging us to rethink everything we thought we knew about the genre, Brode argues that the Western stands for precisely the opposite of what most people today—whether they love it or hate it—believe to be the essential premise of “the only truly, authentically, and uniquely American narrative form.” SAGALA, Sandra K., Buffalo Bill on the Silver Screen : The Films of William F.

Scores of books have been written about Cody’s fabled career as a showman, but his involvement in the film industry—following the dissolution of his traveling show—is less well known. In Buffalo Bill on the Silver Screen, Sandra K. Sagala chronicles the fascinating story of Cody’s venture into filmmaking during the early cinema period.

BOSWELL, Matthew, Holocaust Impiety in Literature, Popular Music and Film, new York, Palgrave Macmillan, 2013, 2012, viii 211 pages. Holocaust Impiety in Literature, Popular Music and Film is an account of provocative and controversial representations of the Holocaust. Many wellknown artists have attracted criticism for approaching the Nazi genocide in ways that have been deemed ill-conceived or offensive. Examples include Sylvia Plath's notorious claim that 'Every woman adores a Fascist' in her poem 'Daddy' and songs such as 'Belsen Was a Gas' by the Sex Pistols. The Holocaust has even provided material for stand-up comedy and gory Hollywood blockbusters such as Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
